If you’re making an indie film and need one of those “first-person bullet” shots on the cheap, look no farther. The Estes Oracle Video Rocket ($120) is powered by model “D” Estes rockets, takes 320x240 video, and hooks up to your computer via USB. Okay, so we’re pretty sure that it’s not meant to be aimed at anything but the sky — it comes with an 18” parachute — but nonetheless, if you try it, we’re pretty sure it looks amazing.

Watchdogs are so 20th century. With the advent of wireless internet access and easy programming tools, you can get a machine to do pretty much anything you want from a remote location — it’s this idea that spawned the Sputnik Robot from Dr. Robot ($4050). Sputnik comes complete and assembled with modules such as built-in WiFi, two motion sensors, two-way audio monitors, video monitors — well, you get the picture. The wireless internet connection and customizable software not only allow you to send commands to the Sputnik on the fly, but also write customizable AI routines to keep your home safe when you’re away. All this, plus you get a little buddy who strangely reminds us of Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

Ever wanted to create your own chase scene? Apart from trying to avoid the law, the biggest obstacle is trying to mount the camera somewhere that makes sense. The Sticky Pod Dash Cam ($100) helps out by providing a stable base on the outside of the vehicle. The kit includes a Sticky Pod Triangular Base, 2 knuckles to adjust the angle of the shot, and a long tether for reassurance. Go ahead, make the next Bullitt.

We spend about a third of our life sleeping, so the mattress you sleep on every night is incredibly important. Make sure you get the right one by trying out a Casper. This USA-made mattress is made up of multiple layers of foam, including one for support and pressure relief, and one to make sure you don't get too hot. It's all wrapped up in a durable woven cover, and shipped right to your door in a box that's easy to maneuver into even the smallest abodes. You get 100 nights to try it out, can return it for free if you're not satisfied, but if you are (and you probably will be), you can upgrade even further by grabbing some of the company's soft Supima cotton sheets and dual-layer pillows.

Another big step forward for Pax and for vaporizers in general, the Pax 3 is the third-generation model of the company's flagship line. It's able to heat up instantly and vibrates when it's ready. It's also now a dual-use vaporizer for both loose leaf and extract which is an easy swap with the included concentrate insert. You can even control your Pax using the Pax Vapor app, which connects using Bluetooth — allowing you to personalize your ideal heat settings. Made using a high-polished anodized aluminum shell, each Pax 3 comes with a 10-year warranty and is available in Black, Silver, Gold, and limited edition Rose Gold.

Although we don’t have the desperate need for taps like we did back in college, it still isn’t a bad idea to have one around for large get-togethers. The Über Tap ($90-$120) has three taps instead of one, eliminating the worst part of having a keg — waiting in line to get your beer. A foot pedal serves as the pump, and five different sizes make sure you can get one for your favorite beer. Binge drinking has never been easier. [Thanks, Kevin!]

We’ve all seen an NFL broadcast here and there and thought, “Damn one of those helmet cams would rock.” Well, now you can pick one up for yourself — the ATC-1000 Helmet Cam from Oregon Scientific ($120). It features 640x480 video captured at 15 fps onto an SD card or the 32MB built-in memory. Plus, it doesn’t come attached to a helmet so you can actually clip it to a bike, car, or just hide it in the bottom of your wife’s purse and find out what she does all day.
